Abstract

A semiconductor device and manufacturing method of the same is provided in which the driving current of a pMOSFET is increased, through a scheme formed easily using an existing silicon process. A pMOSFET is formed with a channel in a <100> direction on a (100) silicon substrate. A compressive stress is applied in a direction perpendicular to the channel by an STI.
